What are the worst Hold 'em cards (hole cards) you can be dealt, theoretically speaking?

I have an idea, but thought I'd ask.

I hate pocket aces myself. A/K Is worse though. Both hands sucker you into getting raped.

I'm not big into poker...but curious how? It seems like with aces you can throw some weight around and try and push people out of the hand.

You can push people around with it, unfortunately its the donkeys that play 7-9 suited cause its their favorite hand. They hit a 7-9 on the flop and think they made an awesome play.

Odds are the smallest that you can win with 2-7 off-suited. None have a 0% chance, though.

When you play with idiots, though, they'll pay to see any card. Just because you have pocket aces, doesn't really mean anything. You just have the highest pair.

You need a higher stakes game then. Makes sense though - when i've played with friends it's the same bullshit. No skill, just who lucks out with the better hand.

Go big early with pocket aces. That way the donks/bingo players can't see more cards. Or, at least, they'll pay to see them.

They'll pay stupidly, knowing they have a low percentage hand... then hit on the river!

I'd rather play with amateurs, b/c I'm no professional.

Let them. Odds are they won't if you play long enough. Statistics beats dumb luck in the long run.

I've had such bad luck with poker over the last 2 months im forcing myself to take a break. Awesome you called a raise to $12 in a 1-2 game because you had 34. What was that? It was suited? My bad!!!! Great call!!!!

This is true. Bet big, but sustainable. Over the course of a whole game, the odds almost always win.

Does anyone raise your open straights after the flop if you're on the high end of the straight? What about when your dealt the nut flush in the hole? A4 hearts for example, if that's not the proper terminology.
